The following statement may be attributed to Jamieson Gordon, spokeswoman for Ohio Right to Life:

Ohio Right to Life is thrilled to see this important legislation pass in the Ohio Senate. Aborted babies deserve to be treated with dignity in their death, and that is exactly what the Unborn Child Dignity Act seeks to do. This simple clarification of Ohio law will give women greater informed consent and ensure that unborn children are treated with the respect that every human person deserves. We are thankful for the leadership of pro-life Senator Joe Uecker and the Ohio Senate. We hope that the Ohio House will move quickly on this compassionate piece of legislation.

Founded in 1967, Ohio Right to Life, with more than 45 chapters and local affiliates, is Ohio's oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. Recognized as the flagship of the pro-life movement in Ohio, ORTL works through legislation and education to promote and defend innocent human life from conception to natural death.
